Residents fight route

School board petition begins No challengers yet in Hayden, South Routt Jack Weinstein

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

In recent years, races for Hayden and South Routt school boards have seen little competition. In the first week of the petition period, which began Wednesday, it appears the upcoming Nov. 3 election may be no different. Four seats are up for grabs on each Hoza board. Thus far, only incumbents have expressed interest in holding on to their positions. In Hayden, open seats include those occupied by Frentress Board President Brian Hoza, Kurt Frentress, Patty Bruchez and Vance Fulton. In South Routt, the seats of John McCollum, Gena Hange, Willie Smith and Joel Harris will be up for election. State law requires that any interested candidate must be a resident of the district he or she will vie to represent for 12 consecutive months before the election. A candidate must have a nomination petition signed by at least 25 registered voters living within the boundaries of the school district, and only one person is allowed to circulate a petition. Petitions can be picked up from each district’s election official — Jnl Linsacum in Hayden and Lori Lombardi in South Routt — in their respective administration building. Petitions are due back to Linsacum and Lombardi by 4 p.m. Aug. 28. In Hayden, Frentress and Fulton confirmed they will run. “I just want to keep concentrating on things that are important to our School District, See Elections, page 7A

They think the beautiful summer evenings they enjoy would be shattered if the New Victory Highway and an extension of Abbey Road are built through the greenbelts of their 30-year-old neighborhood. West Acres is tucked out of sight on the city’s far west side. Steamboat residents who don’t visit friends there may not be aware of its existence. But it’s home to more than 90 families.

Steamboat 700 water issues complicated City’s agreement with developer pales in comparison to Minturn requirement Brandon Gee

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Water has proved to be a contentious issue — as it always does in the West — between the city of Steamboat Springs and Steamboat 700. Steamboat Springs City CounJOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF As part of its water agreement with Steamboat 700, the city of Steamboat cil is nearing a vote this fall on whether to annex the proposed Springs will perfect water rights it owns in Stagecoach Reservoir.

As it stands, the city will require Steamboat 700 to pay $960,000 during two years to firm up existing but unused water rights the city holds in Fish Creek, Stagecoach Reservoir and the Elk River. The city will spend the money on preliminary legal and engineering work required to ultimately bring an additional 966 acre-feet of water — the estimated amount

needed to serve the development — into the city’s system. Bennett decries that council has voted not to require Steamboat 700 to bring new, “wet” water rights to the table. He said that decision is “unfair to citizens of Old Town and unheard of in contemporary annexations.”

Mac Ranch moves to Eighth Street location The Mac Ranch has moved from its space at Yampa and 11th streets to 117 Eighth St. in Steamboat Springs. Founder and partner Dave Sessions said in a news release that he was excited about the new location. The Mac Ranch will have a classroom and space for people to try Apple products, Sessions said. “We want to emulate the experience of the Apple Stores; it is important to us to keep it open and everything accessible,” he stated in the release. “But there’s some great Steamboat funkiness going on.” The store will stock a variety of Apple products but won’t sell iPhones, according to the release.

Steamboat accountants take over Craig clients Steamboat Springs accounting firm Tredway, Henion, Palmquist and Kusy will take over the Craig practice of Franklin “Pud” Stetson, who died last month. Stetson’s income tax preparation business will move to Tredway. Certified public accountant Dan Bonner will serve as the primary contact at Tredway during the change, according to a news release. The Craig office will remain open.

Construction spending in US increases in June Construction spending in the United States increased by 0.3 percent from May’s estimate, according to the Economics and Statistics Administration. Spending was down 10.2 percent from June 2008, to $965.7 billion. During the first six months of this year, construction spending was $455.6 billion, down 11.4 percent from the same months in 2008. Spending was $514.4 billion in the first half of last year.

rash removal is a competitive business in Routt County, and Old West Sanitation is digging for a larger piece of the heap. The Craigbased company already has customers across the Yampa Valley, owner STORY BY Berg BLYTHE TERRELL Benjie said. He hopes to gain more residential clients. The company has been distributing fliers and advertising throughout Steamboat Springs. “We’ve been actually doing Routt County and Moffat County for almost seven years, so we’ve got quite a few customers in Steamboat,” Berg said. “I think word of mouth is getting around, and we’re getting more customers.” Other trash service providers said they didn’t mind the amplified competition. Steve and Kay Weinland run Aces High Services, a trashremoval business, and Royal Flush Industries, which provides portable toilets. “It’s quite competitive, but that’s not a bad thing,” Steve Weinland said. “I don’t sit and worry a lot about competition. We’re known by the customers we keep, as far as I’m concerned.” His company works to keep customers by getting the job

done effectively and on time, he said. But a decline in construction projects across the valley has caused a slowdown, Weinland said. A good part of Aces High’s business involved hauling trash from building projects. The past year has been a challenge, but the company is doing fine, Weinland said. He said he started the business in 2001 and has had good growth since. “We also have Royal Flush Industries, which is the portable toilet business that really complements the trash business,” Weinland said.

Retaliation suit against Home Depot settled DENVER

Federal officials said Home Depot has agreed to pay nearly $85,000 to settle a lawsuit alleging retaliation. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission said Friday the settlement stems from the case of an employee in Evergreen who was fired after filing a sex discrimination complaint in 2004.

“There’s a lot of small to large haulers that are involved in the industry, which makes it more competitive.” The costs also contribute to the competition, Berg said. “It’s a fairly expensive business,” he said. “You’ve got some costs that’s not really controlled by you, the landfill and everything. … Our goal is to give the very best service we can at an affordable price.” Also, trash collection companies are going for the same group of people. “You’ve got a fixed amount of people you’re advertising to, and everyone’s fighting for the same customers,” Berg said. Twin Enviro Services also

provides trash service, said David Epstein, vice president and general manager at Twin Enviro. Company owner Les Liman founded Downhill Pickup in the early 1970s, which Epstein said was the first trash pickup service in Steamboat. That sold to Waste Management in 1984, Epstein said. Berg said commercial collection has slowed down but that, that isn’t why his company upped its advertising. “We were kind of set on doing residential from outset,” he said.

Success Steps to teach pros, cons of handling finances yourself

The Steamboat Springs Chamber Resort Association has scheduled an after-hours mixer from 5 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Steamboat Motors, 2310 Lincoln Ave. The event is free for Chamber members and guests.

Health officials in three Western states said Friday that at least 28 people have reported illnesses tied to recalled ground beef that may be tainted with salmonella. On Thursday, Fresno, Calif.,-based Beef Packers recalled nearly 826,000 pounds of ground beef produced from June 5 to 23. Colorado health officials said 21 people have been sickened and that all are recovering. California officials said five people have reported feeling sick. Wyoming health officials reported that two people have fallen ill.

agreement for trash collection, Deputy City Manager Wendy DuBord said. Residents can use whatever service they like, as long as it meets city ordinances. Waste Management provides much of the local service, though spokeswoman Melissa Kolwaite said the company didn’t release information about market share. She said the company didn’t have an opinion about Old West Sanitation’s marketing campaign. Houston-based Waste Management has been in Colorado since the 1970s. Kolwaite acknowledged that competition was intense for garbage collectors. “I think it’s just the nature of the business,” she said.

America’s “Cash for Clunkers” program is proving more popular than expected. In Europe, such programs also are surging in popularity, but some experts fear auto industries could be left out to dry when government funds run out.

Car rebate program drives European sales Matt Moore

BERLIN

For months, European car buyers have been junking clunkers for cash, boosting automakers sales — but making experts fear that once the government handouts stop, the struggling car industry will return to a slump no pile of cash can conquer. The various programs have surged in popularity since France introduced the idea in December. Germany, Italy, Britain, Romania, Austria, the Netherlands, Spain and Serbia have introduced their own versions aimed at shoring up local automakers, from Germany’s Daimler AG to Romania’s Dacia. Critics contend the billions of euros in handouts benefit only automakers at the expense of other industries and have just delayed a slump in car sales, but proponents point out that it has kept large companies operating

and helped reduce layoffs and temporary shutdowns. But only for a time, some fear. The question is, what happens when the money runs out — will the industry ease off the ramp or drive off a cliff ? “It is a question of somewhat forestalling the inevitable,” Paul Newton, an auto analyst for IHS Global Insight, said Friday. “The reality is that without it, the chances are you’ll see a lot of businesses going to the wall.” Instead, he said that auto companies and dealership owners are using the programs, for now, to clear inventory and build up cash on hand before “for what is very likely to be a very tough 2010.” U.S. officials consulted with Germany before implementing their own version of the auto rebate program, according to guidelines published by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the federal agency running the U.S. “Cash for Clunkers” effort.

Small-business owners can use their financial records to better manage their companies, accountants will tell seminar participants this week. Thursday’s Success Steps lunch is titled “Good Business/ Good Financial Records, Small Business Accounting.” Certified public accountants Dan Bonner and Genevieve Dice will lead the talk. They work for Tredway, Henion, Palmquist and Kusy. Colorado Mountain College and Yampa Valley SCORE put on the seminars. Thursday’s topics include how often to prepare financial statements, common mistakes, pitfalls of do-it-yourself payroll, and pros and cons of QuickBooks. “Ten years ago, people didn’t have all these computerized accounting systems,” Bonner said. “And now, everybody’s doing it themselves, and everyone has different skill levels in terms of accounting.” Randy Rudasics, manager of the Bogue Enterprise Center at CMC and a SCORE counselor, said the seminar would help business owners get organized. “Many small businesses do not use their financial records as a tool for self-improvement, business improvement,” Rudasics said. “I think that if they maintained records more often and their financial statements were organized better, they’d be making better decisions with their money and their assets.” Bonner said he and Dice also plan to talk about the value of accountants.

should work closely year-round with their accountant, he said. “For the most part, we see small-business owners once a year for tax preparation,” Bonner said. “The more financially astute ones, we see on a much more regular basis, and that’s what we like to see.” Visiting an accountant is easier when your records already are in order, Rudasics said. It can cost a business owner more if the accountant must rifle through piles of disorganized and confusing papers. Business owners who are interested in selling also would do well to be financially prepared, Rudasics said. “Over the years, I’ve seen a lot of folks that would come to us … looking to acquire a small

business, and the financials for the small business they were looking to buy were really confusing and sometimes included things like personal expenses,” he said. That doesn’t look good to a would-be buyer. “It’s hard to buy a business that you’re questioning whether the financials are real or not, so it adds value to the business if you have good records,” Rudasics said. Also, he said, business owners must retain records in case the Internal Revenue Service comes calling. Participants at Thursday’s talk will get information about what to keep for the IRS, Rudasics said. He encouraged people to attend so they can explore how they’re managing and recording their finances. “We think people can do better if they spend a very minimal amount of energy to do that,” Rudasics said.

Will car tax undo Democrats?

OUR VIEW

A gamble worth taking I

t’s a calculated gamble, but the Routt County Board of Commissioners should move forward with a plan to spend almost $1 million of its cash reserves to acquire the rights of way needed for Routt County Road 14 improvements. Delaying the acquisition process would hurt the county’s chances of securing AT ISSUE a $20 million federal grant for Routt County the high-priority road project. Road 14 Routt County simply doesn’t have the money needed to fix a five-mile section of C.R. 14 that OUR VIEW Commissioners begins at its northern intersection with Colorado Highway should begin 131. Two years ago, voters turned rights-of-way down a property tax increase that acquisition would have raised $3.3 million a year for capital projects, includprocess in ing C.R. 14 over Yellow Jacket earnest. Pass. The ballot question’s failure can be attributed, at least in part, to the county’s failure to put a sunset on the tax. Meanwhile, the county’s financial situation — and the condition of C.R. 14 — continues to deteriorate. The commissioners instituted 10 percent pay cuts countywide earlier this spring, following with furloughs that reduced employees’ hours by an identical percentage. The commissioners made the pay cuts as part of an effort to reduce a $4.9 million deficit for 2009, and they’re attempting to use as little cash reserves as possible because of fears the economic recession will persist for several years. C.R. 14 has deteriorated to the extent that Routt County Road and Bridge Department Director Paul Draper said normal maintenance procedures aren’t possible. About 2,800 cars a day travel on that section of C.R. 14. We’re sympathetic to the difficult position the C.R. 14 proposal puts the commissioners in. Spending reserves to acquire land needed for a road improvement project almost certainly will hurt the morale of county employees, who could interpret such a move as evidence their own salaries weren’t considered as important as a road project. But not spending the $1 million to acquire the land through a federally mandated process jeopardizes any shot the county has at securing the $20 million grant. Of the $1 million, about $675,000 would go toward the actual acquisition of land needed to straighten and re-grade C.R. 14. The remaining $300,000 is the cost associated with following a specific federal process to acquire the rights of way from landowners. If the county doesn’t follow the federal process, it isn’t eligible for the federal grant. In actuality, the county’s gamble is the $300,000 cost for following the federal process, not the estimated $675,000 needed to purchase the rights of way. C.R. 14 is the county’s No. 1 priority for the Road and Bridge Department, and those rights of way will have to be purchased eventually. Plus, there might not be a better time than now to purchase land at a reasonable price. Timing also is an important factor in the county’s decision to move forward with the expenditure. Delaying the process or asking for grant funds to cover the acquisition of the rights of way as well as the road project itself not only makes the grant submittal less competitive, but it also jeopardizes whether the county could complete the project in the required two years. Grant recipients will be announced in February 2010, and awarded projects must be completed by February 2012. Unless the county immediately begins the rights of way acquisition process, there’s little chance for any substantial work to be completed in the summer of 2010, leaving only the summer of 2011 for the project. The commissioners will revisit the issue this week, and we urge them to move ahead with purchasing the rights of way from area landowners. Risking $300,000 to follow federal guidelines not only makes the county eligible for potential grant funding, but it gives us a shot at funding a crucial road project with stimulus dollars. Simply put, the county may never again have an opportunity to secure such significant federal funding for a much-needed local project.

FOR THE PILOT & TODAY

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR CAYV response In its Aug. 6 editorial, the Steamboat Pilot & Today suggested the Community Alliance of the Yampa Valley should expect “public scrutiny” of its mission and agenda. We wholeheartedly agree and welcome the opportunity to publicly define our mission and agenda, as well as address the controversy surrounding Dr. Stephen Aigner’s presentation to his former colleagues and students at Iowa State University. First, let us define our mission and agenda. The mission of the Community Alliance is “to help preserve the natural environment of the Yampa Valley, enhance the quality of human life, retain the unique character of our community and to build a sustainable society in harmony with nature.” CAYV pursues its mission through advocacy, education and participation in local decision- and policymaking processes. CAYV is an advocate of smart growth, which essentially is embodied in the Steamboat Springs Area Community Plan and the West Steamboat Springs Area Plan. It is a term that focuses a town’s future development on solid principles of thoughtful community planning. Those principles require: providing affordable housing; planned public parks; sustainable practices that preserve natural, cultural and economic resources for future generations; and development that pays its fair share to compensate for socioeconomic and other impacts. Preventing runaway growth that results in over-building, vacated commercial districts, and overburdened services such as water and roads is another requirement. Examples of these principles in action include the 2007 Inclusionary Zoning and Linkage Ordinance, CAYV’s efforts to save the community $4.6 million in building-use tax, planned unit developments that meet requirements for architectural integrity and public benefit, and standing up for the public’s priorities and desires as espoused in the SSACP, WSSAP, Vision 2020 and 2030 and periodic community surveys. In communities across the country experiencing rampant growth and the prospect of losing their identity to the zeal of developers, organizations advocating smart growth principles help the citizens of those communities maintain their heart and soul. More often than not, they do this in the face of overwhelming odds, and, in some cases, intimidation and fear of retribution. Let us correct the record. Com-

munity Alliance of the Yampa Valley does not advocate a “nogrowth” policy. We understand that growth is inherent in any vibrant and dynamic community, and we embrace that. But we also have seen the effects of rampant and uncontrolled growth on communities. Witness the bankrupt petitioner of the approved annexation in Minturn, the bankrupt subdivision in Hayden, and the infrastructure issues in Stagecoach. CAYV hopes Steamboat Springs would be able to stand up to the pressures of externally driven development and keep its small-town character intact as we, the citizens, decide how this community can grow in harmony with the beauty that lies within the Yampa Valley. It is no coincidence that these attributes of small-town character and natural beauty, in addition to Western heritage, are cited as our greatest economic assets and top priorities to preserve and maintain time and time again. Although we may have our disagreements with some council members and developers, we all can readily agree that we don’t want to spoil the special nature of this place we call home. How can we prevent that spoilage? First, it is incumbent upon all of us to understand the forces and pressures of development on this valley. Potentially, more than a billion dollars of revenue was in the construction pipeline in the ski area base alone before the financial meltdown. Add to that an annexation that will nearly double our population and shouldn’t all of us be paying attention? Second, we need to understand what connections developers have with the community and what pressures they put on elected officials and people in positions of power. This includes the pressures on the Pilot & Today and other information outlets that rely heavily on advertising revenues from the development, construction and real estate industries to bring us our daily news. We can only hope that the citizens of Steamboat Springs, as well as the City Council, developers and Realtors, rise to the occasion and help the town implement smart growth policies that preserve the community’s character and its natural beauty. CAYV operates on the fundamental premise that all of us lose if either were compromised. Holding ourselves accountable is essential. As to Aigner’s comments about CAYV and Steamboat, we regret that his academic presentation to a college class was confused with his civic role as CAYV’s administrator.

While the presentation and candid look at this community cannot be denied or hidden, it should be taken in the context of a professor of sociology explaining to a far away audience how the forces of development can negatively impact a community and how difficult a role it is for any counterforce to have a positive impact. When a person or community has a mirror put in front of them (figuratively speaking), they tend to react in one of two ways: break the mirror or look inward and reflect on that with which they have been confronted. The Pilot & Today, in its one-sided attack on Aigner and the CAYV, chose to break the mirror. We are perplexed why Aigner and the Community Alliance have been singled out for this tabloidtype exposure. The Community Alliance has achieved its status by the ideas and insight it has brought to the table, not its agenda nor its spokespeople. There are many other groups lobbying City Council, yet none of them are having their “agendas, spokespersons or their members” scrutinized by the local newspaper. If the Pilot & Today spent this much effort investigating all City Council candidates and interest groups, we would have a much more informed electorate. Going forward, we hope the community can stand up to the pressures of growth, help promote smart growth principles and view the Alliance as an ally in keeping the heart and soul of Steamboat intact. Yours in building a better community,

Athletic Fields support The Steamboat Pilot & Today editorial on July 22 stated that “Heritage Park homeowners seem to want it both ways — open space for athletic fields when it would prevent additional development, and no development of athletic fields when it would mean increased usage and traffic to their neighborhood.” See Letters, page 5A

En route to losing his run for governor of Virginia in 1997, Democrat Don Beyer blamed his loss on “the slogan from hell: No Car Tax.” Unseated as governor of Arkansas, Democrat Bill Clinton in 1980 realized he had “unwisely raised the state motor vehicle tax,” writes biographer Nigel Hamilton. A visitor “found him on the floor, bawling like a baby” and railing at Jimmy Carter. If Coloradans oust Bill Ritter in 2010, our gentlemanly governor will control his emotions better than Slick Willie. But his undoing could be identical to that of Clinton and Beyer — misjudging how mad Americans can get when government messes with their cars, trucks, campers and trailers. Some genius, maybe the same consultant who’s charging the University of Colorado almost a million dollars for logo design, coined the acronym FASTER for Ritter’s bill that boosted vehicle registration fees and late penalties, effective July 1. The bill is supposed to raise $250 million a year for roads. But the only thing that’s going faster so far is Republican hopes. The surprise has people steamed. In a puny concession, Ritter offered to roll back the late charges on nonmotorized vehicles, such as boat trailers. Thanks a lot. In a defensive crouch, county clerks met citizen anger with canned complaint postcards and extra guards. The brouhaha is far from over. The average additional hit of $32 per vehicle, or even the maximum penalty of $100, may sound trivial at a time when politicians talk in trillions. But like a candidate’s $400 haircut, a Pentagon platinum toilet seat, or that British parliamentarian’s moat-cleaning allowance, it’s the kind of crazymaking detail that infuriates recessionweary taxpayers. Insult follows injury when you hear that the last two letters in FASTER — Rep. Joe Rice’s legislative masterpiece, which has GOP strategists taking aim at him — stand for “economic recovery.” Can Democrats really believe picking our pockets is the right remedy in hard times? Freda Poundstone, Republican former mayor of Greenwood Village, knows it isn’t. The grande dame of citizen petitions in Colorado, author of a 1974 constitutional amendment that bears her name and halted Denver’s annexation march, hopes to get on the 2010 ballot with a petition to halt the revenue grab. Her Initiative No. 10, currently gathering signatures, would cut taxes on vehicles, income and phones — VIP for short. Annual car registrations would be capped at $10, vehicle ownership and sales taxes would phase down, state income tax would drop from 4.63 percent to 4.5 percent with further cuts in fat economic times, and telecom taxes of all sorts would end.

Health care reform

This week: Should a medical marijuana dispensary be zoned like an adult business?

Just thinking about health care reform gives me a headache. ... I am all for putting the individual at the center of the medical decision. Not only in the decisions about the type and scope of care provided but also paying for the full cost of it. The current health care cost reimbursement system for too long has isolated the individual consumer from the direct full cost of medical care as illustrated by the phrase, “Don’t worry,

your insurance will cover it.” Combine this with a system that focuses on sickness and rewards volume of medical services that are provided, with a healthy dose of defensive medicine to avoid (litigation), it is no wonder it does not work very well. Something needs to be done. The challenge is deciding on what to do. — Scott Ford

The 2005 baseball field was proposed for the wrong location, the 2.18 acre Parcel E site with no buffer areas between the field and adjacent residential properties. It was coupled with an event management plan to schedule activities from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. for Triple Crown tournaments and other city-sponsored activities; an estimated annual 80,000 to 90,000 user hours noted in the Great Outdoors Colorado grant application that was not suitable for that location. Although opposed to the Parcel E location, the HPOA supported the baseball field on parcels west of the Christian Heritage School where 7.5 acres are allotted for athletic fields. We also encouraged development of soccer fields on Parcels D and E (next to the subdivision) like those developed on Parcels A and B.

Contrary to that statement, most Heritage Park Owners Association members support recreational athletic field development that is consistent with the 1997 PUD. HPOA owners recognize that a reasonable increase in usage and traffic comes with suitable athletic field development and built homes in the subdivision with that understanding. Excerpts from 1997 Routt County Planning Commission and Board of County Commissioners PUD meeting minutes established plans for development that were approved by the county: ■ April 3, 1997: “Eric Smith, architect … explained the proposal by saying the intent is, … with the western half being designated for five soccer fields, … the soccer fields will have the appearance of open park area … when games are played, the fields will be delineated with removable cones.” ■ April 3, 1997: “Commissioner Bill Taylor stated that the developer has the responsibility to protect adjacent property owners from impacts … including traffic impacts.” ■ April 8, 1997: “The athletic field located between the school and the residential lots … should serve the needs of the residents. This site would provide a core and gathering area for the neighborhood.” ■ Aug. 21, 1997: “Eric Smith

While alternatives to use GOCO funds on Parcel E were discussed with city staff in 2006, Ty Lockhart chose to withdraw open space Parcels D and E from athletic field development to pursue amending the PUD for duplex development. I would prefer to see Mr. Lockhart focus his efforts to build on his five vacant lots in the subdivision and not on dedicated open space parcels. Opposition to one plan does not translate to opposition to athletic field development options that could provide benefit to the homeowners and the community. Our disappointment and frustration is that the 2005 baseball field and subsequent duplex proposals don’t conform to commitments made in 1997. The ball remains in Mr. Lockhart’s court to bring forward suitable development proposals for Parcels D and E that do.

HERITAGE PARK

A beautiful sight At approximately 12:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, there was a boom, and the dogs let me know we had a visitor. I already knew a bear had found the yummy trash we had thrown in the can earlier that night. When I looked through the window, I saw the most beautiful black

bear licking the inside of a Cheerios bag. His back must have been 4 feet high while on all four paws, and he was at least as wide as he was tall. This creature was not ripping or rifling through the trash; he simply knocked the can over and found an apple core and a little sugar to cure his sweet tooth. After a few minutes — it had to be less then 10 — he simply sauntered off toward the creek. I had to just sit and watch him, as he was the most beautiful creature I had seen in many years. We usually pick up dog poop and put it on top of our trash bags because that keeps the critters out. But after working 14 hours straight, at two jobs, I was too tired to go looking in the dark for landmines, and I knew there was nothing in my trash that could hurt wildlife. We must remember that the wildlife we live with is a gift, and we must appreciate its beauty and its grace. We may want to remember that the wildlife did not ask us to move into their open space and they are very tolerant of our presence. We also should be tolerant of their presence. Try to use the eyes of a child when you see wildlife in your neighborhood, and you see the wonder and beauty that is right in front of you.

Reform is the sponsoring group. I was an early signer. Initiative No. 10 gains urgency from a little-noticed 2008 ruling of the state Supreme Court, Barber v. Ritter, which effectively wiped out the inconvenient distinction between what’s a tax, subject to TABOR limits and voting, and what’s a fee

at the Legislature’s discretion. Unless we the people can win the next round of ballot battles and rebuild fiscal guardrails, Colorado could follow California over the cliff. This election will be a doozy. Ritter wants rid of TABOR, even though Arthur Laffer and Stephen Moore in their new book “Rich States, Poor States,” crunch numbers to prove it’s

been “a boon to the economy of the state,” 10th strongest nationally since 1997. But disgusted motorists may want to be rid of Ritter and his party. Then there’s Poundstone with her petition, and that Clear the Bench campaign seeking to fire four justices. The political rehab for automobile casualties, where Beyer and Clinton once checked in, could be admitting a Colorado

inmate 15 months from now. John Andrews, of Centennial, was president of the Colorado Senate in 2003-05.

Ericksons at 729 Oak St., a home furnishings and interior design store. Erickson People from across the world made a point to stop by the store while visiting Steamboat. Many homes and businesses in the Yampa Valley were beautifully decorated with Betty’s keen eye for texture and color, and Eric’s artfully handcrafted wood furnishings. After Eric’s death in 1996, Betty continued to enjoy their Strawberry Park property, gardening and her faithful collie, Larson. She was a member of PEO, Chapter X and United Methodist Church. Betty moved to Fort Collins in 2007 for health reasons and to be near her son Jon, his wife, Diane, and her grandson, Scott. Betty enjoyed being closer to her family and making many new friends at Ridgen Farm Senior Living. Betty also is survived by her son Michael and his wife, Cindy, of Wallowa, Ore. A family gathering has been held to distribute Betty and Eric’s ashes together in their beloved Colorado mountains. Memorial contributions in Betty’s memory may be made to United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 773748, Steamboat Springs, CO 80477.

Betty L. Erickson, 82, formerly of Steamboat Springs, died July 28, 2009, in Fort Collins. She was born Elizabeth Louise Larson on July 9, 1927, in Lewistown, Mont., the only child of Elmer and Beryl Larson. Betty moved to Fort Cobb, Okla., the hometown of her parents, when she was 9 years old. She graduated from Chickasha High School in 1945 and attended Oklahoma State University, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in interior architecture in 1949 and was a member of the Alpha Chi Omega sorority. Betty met Everett “Eric” Erickson on the campus of OSU. They were married Sept. 5, 1949, in Stillwater, Okla., and then settled in Ponca City, Okla., where their sons Michael and Jon were born. The Ericksons were employed by Continental Oil Co. (Conoco), Betty as a draftsperson in the electronics lab and Eric as a geophysicist. They were founding members of St. Paul’s Methodist Church. By 1963, Betty had earned her American Society of Interior Designers credential and opened Erickson Interiors from their home. In 1969, the Ericksons followed their love for the mountains and moved to Steamboat Springs. They settled in Strawberry Park, where Eric built his custom woodworking shop and a design studio for Betty. In 1973, they opened

Crews will resume efforts to contain a small wildfire burning near Vail Mountain. The fire has burned about an acre on national forest land in West Vail. The fire was moving toward the ski area, and Vail Mountain was evacuated Friday evening as a precaution. Normal activities were set to resume on the

mountain Saturday. Crews have built containment lines around 60 percent of the fire. A helicopter dropped fire retardant on the flames. Eagle County sheriff’s spokeswoman Shannon Cordingly said no structures were threatened. She said the risk to neighborhoods was small because of buffers created by thinning as part of wildfire prevention efforts. It’s not known how the fire started.

“I certainly am highly committed to the work we’re doing,” said Hoza, dean of student affairs at Colorado Mountain College’s Alpine Campus. “Hayden is a fantastic community and an awesome school district. Anything I can do to support that matters to me. It’s a huge responsibility. It’s an important role.” Bruchez declined to say whether she would run. Linsacum said Friday afternoon that no candidate had picked up a petition. Hoza, who represents District E, and Bruchez, who represents District A, each have served

In South Routt, Hange, Smith and Harris confirmed they will run and have picked up their petitions, Lombardi said Friday. “I deeply care about the South Routt School District,” said Hange, who works for Northwest Graphics in Steamboat. “We’ve seen a lot of good things the last four years. I would like to continue to see more things happen. Budgetary things are the biggest. Making it not only through this year but next, with the economy the way it is.” Smith is a drywall contractor in Phippsburg. “It’s been a good few years. We’ve made a lot of changes

The current council, its attorneys and city staff said they instead were comfortable accepting about $1 million earmarked for water projects, because the city’s Water Supply Master Plan found that the city has a reliable long-term source of raw water but that it should “increase redundancy in the community’s water supply.” Criticisms that the city is letting Steamboat 700 off the hook for water appear to have legs when compared to what is being required of developer Bobby Ginn in Minturn. Minturn is requiring Ginn to give the town enough actual water rights to serve his massive planned development on Battle Mountain that includes a ski resort, golf course and 1,700 luxury homes. Ginn offered the Pueblo water board $30 million for 1,337 acre-feet of water from the Columbine Ditch near Leadville, according to The Denver Post. That amounts to about $22,000 per acre-foot of water. Steamboat 700 is paying about $1,000 for each acre-foot of water it is helping the city use. Ginn’s contract with the Pueblo water board ultimately was squandered last month by the city of Aurora, which had a right of first refusal on the water and partnered with Leadville’s Climax Mine to snatch it up, forcing Ginn to look elsewhere.

Splash or cash Steamboat 700 officials have argued just the opposite of the critics, claiming the city indicated only that a water requirement would be placed on the developer at the 11th hour. At Tuesday’s City Council meeting — when the city and Steamboat 700 discussed when Steamboat 700’s water pay-

ment would be due — Bob Weiss cited the oft-mentioned Brown water agreement. The agreement was signed between the city and Stephen and Mary Brown, former owners of the Steamboat 700 site, in 1993. Weiss is a local attorney representing Steamboat 700. Weiss said Steamboat 700 relied on a provision in the agreement that states, “The city hereby irrevocably agrees to make water and sewer service available for the development of the property.” The agreement goes on to state, “Such water and sewer service shall be provided in accord with the terms and conditions that are in effect at the time service is requested.” City officials argue that the Brown agreement does not exempt Steamboat 700 from the city’s recently adopted water dedication policy. Adopted in May, that policy requires developers of land outside the municipal water utility service area to bring water rights — or money to help develop the city’s existing water rights, through means such as infrastructure — to the table as a condition of approval. Council members began debating the policy in January and voted in March not to require Steamboat 700 to provide “wet” water rights, instead requiring payment for water infrastructure. But the debate continues. Weiss pointed out that the city’s West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan states, “The city has sufficient water rights to provide water to all the plan area.” Weiss also said a water requirement was not mentioned in a pre-annexation agreement the city signed with Steamboat 700 last year that was supposed to cover major issues. That agreement included a water and wastewater capacity analysis in a list

of required studies, but it did not specify any required water dedications. For these reasons, Weiss and Steamboat 700 Principal and Project Manager Danny Mulcahy said it was disingenuous of the city to apply its water dedication policy to the development. On Tuesday, Weiss acknowledged that 700 no longer is disputing the payment but argued in favor of giving Steamboat 700 more time and flexibility to pay the $960,000. “The initial discussions did not include water dedication,” Weiss said. “The question is, do you want to burden this devel-

opment and the ability to meet the goals … with this kind of payment this early before there’s any development?” Council members didn’t bend and decided to stick to their staff’s recommendation to require the payment throughout a two-year period.

Survivor: Cancer is what you make it Relay For Life continued from 1A Organizers registered slightly fewer teams but almost as many participants, team development coordinator Kassandra Collins said. She noted that her co-coordinator, Maria Kaminski, was unable to attend because she was with her father in Florida, who has lung cancer. Becky Bergeron was among the walkers at Relay, which went from 6 p.m. Friday to 9 a.m. Saturday at the Steamboat Springs High School track. Bergeron ticked her laps on her arm. Four horizontal hashes with a vertical line through them signified four laps, or one mile. She had 144 hashes and 36 vertical lines — 36 miles. Bergeron took a 30-minute break after every seven miles. She participated in the Relay with the Steamboat Christian Center team and has done triathlons to support the American Heart Association. Bergeron has lost family members to cancer, and she lost her father

to a heart attack. She said she likes challenging her body for good causes. “It felt good being out there in the middle of the night at 4 in the morning when there’s not very many people on the track,” Bergeron said. Cancer survivor Laura Ansberry spent hours on the track, as well. Ansberry finished chemotherapy for melanoma a month ago. She said she loved watching people come together and share positive energy. Cancer has changed her life for the better, Ansberry said. “It makes you look at life a little different,” she said. “It opens your mind. Cancer is what you make it. I don’t know how to explain it. It’s brought a lot of good things into my life.” Now, every day is a good day for Ansberry. For that, she thanks her doctors at Yampa Valley Medical Center — as well as the nurses. “I call them my angels,” Ansberry said. Breast cancer survivor Anna Fang and her husband, Jim

Crawford, were on the track together. The couple lives in Boston but has a summer home in Steamboat. “I think it’s important that everyone who has cancer realizes they’re not alone,” Crawford said. “And this provides an incredible support system for them.” Like Ansberry, Fang said she was happy to have met amazing people through her cancer. She’s lost a lot of friends, too. “It’s great to see the survivors,” Fang said, “but I’d like to see more of them.” As 9 a.m. neared, everyone gathered near the stage, attracted by the commanding voice and jokes of disc jockey Kelly Anzalone. Jackson, the event co-chairwoman, listed the winning teams and top fundraisers. She closed by thanking everyone involved in the 2009 Relay For Life. “What a community,” Jackson said. “What a Relay.”

Supporters of Joanie Clark, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in April, attend Friday’s opening ceremony.

Resident: We’re trailer trash; we’ve been fighting developments for a long time West Acres continued from 1A Noting that the city just agreed not to build a road through Rita Valentine Park, near the expensive homes in the neighborhoods near Anglers Drive, some West Acres residents feel they aren’t as important in the eyes of the city as those of other neighborhoods. Tom Armstrong, a 28-year resident of West Acres, stated it bluntly: “We’re trailer trash,” he said. “We’ve been fighting developments for a long time.” Neighborhood spokesman Tom Williams asked Steamboat Springs City Council whether it was aware of their plight. “We are very upset about roads planned over the top of two greenbelts,” Williams told council during its meeting Tuesday. “We were never told these roads were going in by the city of Steamboat Springs and never asked whether we minded them going in and never offered any reasonable compensation for the devaluation of our homes. Are you aware of this?” City Council President Loui Antonucci said Friday that he’d known for years about the planned route of the Victory Highway but that he didn’t become aware of homeowners’ concerns until the afternoon of the meeting. “I never dreamed it would be a problem with the trailer owners,” he said. “Who wants to beat up on local people? They’re my friends. Especially Tom Williams.”

Deep roots West Acres began its existence in 1978-79, pressed against a gravel pit that was outside the city limits at the time. The neighborhood has matured nicely. The homes are well maintained, the trees and shrubs have matured, and the neighborhood is at the end of what amounts to a cul de sac, with no through traffic. On an early August evening, dramatic sunset views stretched across acres of undisturbed tall grasses, and two mule deer walked cautiously into the larger of two greenbelts. City staff attorney Dan Foote has pursued the easement necessary for the new boulevard connecting Routt County Road 129 with the proposed Steamboat 700 development. Antonucci said his understanding is that the route is the only viable option. Foote had looked into an existing easement through the heart of the mobile home park, Antonucci said. But it is so narrow, it would have required encroaching on the

West Acres history and case facts ■ April 1978 Steamboat residents Charles G. Williams and Don Valentine file a plat creating West Acres Park subdivision for themselves and partners William Holiday Jr., George Blair and Sherwood Johnston. The subdivision creates 92 mobile-home lots. The plan includes two greenbelts; one is to the south to screen the residences from an operating gravel pit where West End Village now stands. The second, larger greenbelt to the north was intended for the recreation of residents. The subdivision is just outside the western limits of Steamboat Springs in Routt County.

mobile homes themselves. For City Council, Antonucci said, it’s a matter of balancing what’s best for the entire city with the interests of the neighborhood. Terry Armstrong, Tom’s wife, said that in her mind, the road is unnecessary. “They are going to put a super highway through here. But it’s a road to nowhere,” Terry Armstrong said. “They call it the Super Victory Highway, but it will do nothing to resolve the impact of the traffic on (U.S. Highway) 40 or (C.R.) 129. It’s going to go through our property values and ruin our lives.” The Armstrongs have a wooden swing on the west-facing deck of their home that lets them take in the summer sunset in the direction of Sleeping Giant. They envision streams of traffic permanently altering the view. Like the Armstrongs, many West Acres residents have lived there and watched their children grow up there for more than 25 years. Now, attorney John Grassby is preparing documents to appeal the homeowners’ case to the Colorado Court of Appeals, in hopes of preventing the two roads from encroaching on the two easements that bracket the trailer park, or at least winning a cash settlement to offset the impacts residents say will diminish the value of their homes. Residents said they aren’t as interested in the cash — averaging about $5,000 per home — as they are in stopping construction of the roads. “The best result for them is for the road to be abandoned,” Grassby said. “The greenbelts were deeded to the city (when it annexed West Acres) to hold in perpetuity.”

Legal questions He called the city’s action a violation of the public trust doctrine, a legal principle dictating that government preserve resources for the good of all. Grassby also asserts that converting the greenbelt is in direct opposition to the city’s strongly held philosophical stance on preserving open space. The case could turn on the fact that, as owners of mobile homes, the West Acres residents do not own the land beneath their homes. The court case began in fall 2006, when the city sought to condemn the property of longtime Steamboat excavating contractor C.D. Johnson — who bases his business in the nearby West Acres commercial subdivision — to be able to build the road. District Court Judge Michael O’Hara ruled that in order to prevail, the city must satisfy O’Hara’s ruling of Johnson’s financial interests in the same greenbelts that border the mobile-home park. Foote said lengthy negotiations on the financial settlement in that case continue. Grassby petitioned the court to allow the homeowners to piggyback onto the Johnson proceedings. “I thought it would be a slam dunk that we’d be allowed to intervene and it would just be a matter of how much,” Grassby said. However, Foote argued that as renters of their home lots, the homeowners were not entitled to a financial stake in the greenbelts attached to the subdivision. District Court Judge Shelley Hill concurred and ruled against the homeowners, finding that the property rights are attached

‘Cash for Clunkers’ Let’s see, President Barack Obama and Congress were surprised that people would like $4,500 toward a new car for an old car that they were going to trade in or that would die in the near future, anyway. The initial $1 billion was used to choose approximately 0.1 percent winners (250,000 people out of 300 million). Each additional billion will add another 0.1 percent winners. Thus, for everyone who got such a deal, 999 people were disappointed that their neighbor got help from the government to buy a car and they didn’t. Half of the people — those of us who pay income taxes — also are angry about having to help with the car payment for their neighbor’s shiny new car. If you like how the federal government has run this program, wait for health care. It also will choose winners — i.e., people without health insurance (but not without health care), including illegal immigrants who shouldn’t be here anyway — and losers, primarily so far seniors like myself who are on Medicare. These seniors are Americans who have paid into the program all of their lives and now will have to search even harder for a doctor willing to take even less reimbursement from Medicare. They also will have a “duty to die,” as the

government tries to keep from spending too much at the end. Seems about as fair as “Cash for Clunkers.”

CLARK

Memories of laughter A week after Greg Scott’s sudden and overwhelming departure, mutual friends repeatedly have mentioned two things that hit them after the truly great memorial celebration: “Who will play for upcoming family events?” (Greg was our one and only choice); and Greg’s laugh, which was so special and distinct. A close friend had brought us to Steamboat in the winter of 1990 on a long weekend. We headed up the gondola to Hazie’s, met the sleigh on the backside of the lifts, and were catching our breath from all this Yampa Valley beauty when we pulled up to Ragnar’s for dinner. The scenery at dusk was pretty heady stuff for us first-time Midwest flatlanders. Bob Neville mentioned that a friend, Greg Scott, would be entertaining that night, and he wanted all of us to meet him between sets. We did so, and after the second set, Greg came by the table, smiled and asked, “Anyone have a request?” When nobody offered, I joked, “How about ‘El Paso’ by Marty Robbins?”

My request was truly tongue-in-cheek. Nobody in the Midwest covered this amazing ballad — 7 1/2 minutes long with no repeating verses and subtle tempo changes that make, but mostly break, the song. Apparently I picked the wrong cowboy and the wrong song for this particular joke. Greg softly mentioned that it also was one of his favorite songs from his favorite artist. Seven and a half minutes later, Falina was kissing the fallen cowboy goodbye, and I realized tears were running down my face. He didn’t just cover it — Greg lived this ballad. As the song ended, Greg nodded at me and caught me fumbling for a napkin to compose myself. I nodded back as nonchalantly as possible, but his song had caused me to come temporarily unhitched, and Greg knew it. After the set, he strolled over to the table with his big, wide grin, and in a returning-the-joke tone said, “So, Tom, did you like it?” Outdone, I uttered something sarcastic and juvenile like, “Well, it was all right.” Greg Scott took a quick breath and bellowed his laugh. We’ve all heard that laugh — so free and genuine and loud. I’ll miss that laugh, and I’ll remember it well.

to the owners of the mobile home park, who own the actual land. Grassby intends to refer that ruling to the Colorado Court of Appeals. City Attorney Tony Lettunich pointed out that the city had offered the residents of the mobile-home park $44,000 to compensate them for the loss of the greenbelt, but Williams called that an insult. “We were brushed off,” Williams said. “After attorney fees and dividing it 82 ways, (the number of homeowners participating in the civil action) that would leave each member about $365.”

What’s at stake Grassby said he thinks mobile-home owners have a financial stake in the greenbelts attached to their neighborhood. He retained a Denver appraisal firm on behalf of his clients to assign values to the homes with the greenbelts intact and without. The conclusion was that in aggregate, the greenbelts add $400,000 to the value of the homes in the neighborhood. The amount of damages the appraiser assigned to individual homes in the subdivision varied with their estimated market value and their proximity to the greenbelts. The damages for homes im-

■ 1979 Valentine proposes adding an additional 200 lots in filing 2 of the subdivision. The county approves the addition in June 1979, and during that timeframe county officials discuss the need for connecting roads, including one that might go through West Acres Industrial Park to the east. Changes considered also include a road connection through the smaller southern greenbelt that would connect to filing 2. However, the addition never is built, and to this day, there is no signed final plat on file with the Routt County Clerk & Recorders Office. The preliminary plat is filed but unsigned. Approval of the roads was a condition of final approval, and the road plan never was formally approved. ■ December 1989 The city annexes land west of Steamboat, including West Acres. In the process, the city acquires title to the greenbelts.

mediately adjacent to the greenbelts, where the roads would come close to homes, vary from $2,850 to $11,250. Damages for homes on the interior loop of the subdivision, where homeowners are somewhat insulated from traffic noise, range from $3,000 to $5,000, based on the appraisals. Foote, who has worked for years to accomplish City Council’s directive that the property rights be acquired to build the new arterial road, said he thinks there is at least one previous case in Colorado that makes it clear individual homeowners don’t have a financial stake in greenbelts. Homeowners said it’s not the money they’re after — it’s about preservation of their lifestyle.

■ October 2006 Pursuant to the West of Steamboat Springs Area Plan, Steamboat Springs City Council authorizes the acquisition of property near West Acres for the extension of Abbey Road and creation of the New Victory Highway into an area designated for future residential growth. The city intends to build the new roads through the West Acres greenbelts. The city files a quiet title action against the original mobile-home-park developers and a number of commercial property owners in West Acres Commercial Subdivision. The city reaches financial settlements with all but C.D. Johnson, longtime owner of a local excavating business. Negotiations about the financial settlement pertaining to the condemnation continue into the summer of 2009. ■ August 2008 District Court Judge Michael O’Hara rules that the city’s intended use of the greenbelts is inconsistent with roadway uses. He further rules that Johnson had sufficient interest in the greenbelt to preclude the city’s proposed roads. Finally, O’Hara issues an injunction against the city subject to its ability to successfully condemn Johnson’s property. West Acres homeowners, alarmed by the pending loss of the use of their greenbelts, seek through attorneys to be added to the condemnation proceedings because of a cross-party interest. ■ May 2009 District Court Judge Shelley Hill rules against the homeowners. She rules that state statutes do not give them an interest in the property and that any claims they might have should have been filed against their landlords instead of against the city as condemning authority.

Terri and Ken Carpenter just moved to their home in West Acres in March 2008. Maps anticipating the route of the Victory Highway through the northernmost and largest of the two greenbelts show the new boulevard coming very close to the corner of their lot and the new stone barbecue patio they just completed. Just over their property line, is the greenbelt covered in tall grass. As if on cue recently, a pair of mule deer walked by enjoying the cool of an early summer evening. “It’s like the Garden of Eden up here,” Ken Carpenter said. “We were told this was all greenbelt back here. We don’t want to see headlights coming through at night.” — To reach Tom Ross, call 871-4205 or e-mail tross@steamboatpilot.com

9 believed dead in crash

��

Plane, helicopter collide over Hudson River Verena Dobnik

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

��

A small plane collided with a sightseeing helicopter over the Hudson River on Saturday, scattering debris in the water and forcing people on the New Jersey waterfront to scamper for cover. Authorities think all nine people aboard the two aircraft were killed. A helicopter pilot on the ground at the heliport for Liberty Tours, which operated the doomed sightseeing craft, saw the plane approaching the helicopter and tried to radio an alert to the pilots, police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said. The warning wasn’t heard or didn’t happen in time. “He saw a single-engine aircraft,” National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman said Sat-

urday. “He radioed ... ‘You have a fixed-wing behind you.’ There was no response.” The collision, which Mayor Michael Bloomberg said was “not survivable,” happened just after noon and was seen by thousands of people enjoying a crystal-clear summer day from the New York and New Jersey sides of the river. “First, I saw a piece of something flying through the air. Then, I saw the helicopter going down into the water,” said Kelly Owen, a Florida tourist at a Manhattan park. “I thought it was my imagination.” The two aircraft went down just south of the stretch of river where a US Airways jet landed safely seven months ago. But this time, there was no miracle. “This is not going to have a happy ending,” Bloomberg

said. Hours after the collision, he said he thought it fair to say “this has changed from a rescue to a recovery mission.” The NTSB was investigating the cause of the collision. Three bodies had been recovered before diving operations were suspended for the night, Hersman said. Two bodies were recovered in the water — one floating free and one in the wreckage — and other bodies were spotted in the debris in the river, the mayor said. The crash victims included five Italian tourists and a pilot on the helicopter and the three people on the plane, including a child, Bloomberg said. Witnesses described seeing a low-flying plane smashing into the helicopter, and then wreckage scattering. One of the plane’s wings was severed by the impact.

After 17 years as judge, Sotomayor now a rookie Mark Sherman

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

WASHINGTON

�

Sonia Sotomayor has gained admission to the Marble Palace. Now, she has to figure out how the Supreme Court works. When do you speak up? How do you find your way around a building torn apart by renovation? If someone knocks at the Sotomayor door while the justices are meeting in their private conference room, who answers? (Note to the newest justice: You do.) After 17 years as a federal judge, Sotomayor knows her way around a courthouse. But her new workplace, filled with quirky customs and rituals, isn’t any old court building and new justices, like new colleagues everywhere, want to fit in. “You don’t necessarily want to break the china when you start out,” said Christopher Landau, who served as a law clerk to Justice Clarence Thomas after his tumultuous confirmation in 1991. Sotomayor, 55, became the court’s first Hispanic and third woman after taking an oath of office Saturday from Chief Justice John Roberts. She pledged to “do equal right to the poor and to the rich” in a brief ceremony at

the court beneath a portrait of legendary Chief Justice John Marshall. Roberts welcomed his newest colleague to the court and said she could begin work “without delay.” For all the groundbreaking nature of her nomination, the most significant demographic fact about Sotomayor now is that she is the junior justice. Other than opening the conference room door, Sotomayor will be responsible for taking notes on what the justices decide at those private meetings — including the late September conference where they dispose of a couple thousand appeals — and then reporting the decisions accurately to the court clerk. It’s not rocket science, but it is vital to the court. “She’ll be keeping track of what goes on at conference as she’s trying to figure out what’s going on at conference,” said Margo Schlanger, a University of Michigan law professor who worked for Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in Ginsburg’s first term in 1993-94. Sotomayor also will go last when the justices take initial votes on cases. Ginsburg once recalled “a certain impatience, a high premium on brevity when the vote came round to me and there was already a lopsided majority. But coming last does have its heady moments, times when the ninth vote breaks a tie.”

State judge sends message with prison rape penalty DENVER

A federal judge was so appalled that a former Colorado prison guard accused of raping an inmate was allowed to plead guilty to a misdemeanor that the judge imposed $1.3 million in damages in the inmate’s civil lawsuit — a message advocates hope will pressure corrections officials nationwide to protect prisoners from sexual misconduct. “It sends a strong message to the agency and also individual correctional officers that there’s not going to be immunity to violating the constitutional rights of people they’re required to safeguard,” said Brenda Smith, a member of the National Prison Rape Elimination Commission. The Denver Women’s Correctional Facility inmate said the former guard coerced her into a five-month sexual relationship and sodomized her when she began refusing his advances, according to court documents. The former guard pleaded guilty in 2008 to misdemeanor unlawful sexual contact and was sentenced to 60 days in jail.

Bear found feeding on elderly woman’s body OURAY

Wildlife officials say a bear was found feeding on the body of a 73-year-old woman who had repeatedly been warned not to give dog food to the bruins that live near her home north of Ouray. A caretaker said she saw the bear over the woman’s body Friday and called 911. The victim’s name has not been released. Colorado Division of Wildlife spokesman Joe Lewandowski said it’s unclear whether the bear killed the woman of if she died of other causes. He said the woman was known to feed bears dog food and would not stop, even after repeated requests from wildlife officials. Sheriff’s deputies investigating the incident killed an aggressive bear at the woman’s home. A necropsy is planned for the 250pound male to determine the contents of its stomach.

Dems pick water expert Whitehead for Senate DENVER

Democrats have chosen Colorado Water Conservation Board member Bruce Whitehead, of Hesperus, to replace Jim Isgar in the state Senate. Isgar left his seat July 20 to join the U.S. Department of Agriculture as the Colorado state director for rural development. A vacancy committee chose Whitehead to replace him Saturday. A date wasn’t immediately set for him to be sworn in. Whitehead worked for 25 years for the Colorado Division of Water Resources and is the executive director of the Southwest and Animas-La Plata water conservation districts. Gov. Bill Ritter appointed him last year to serve on the Colorado Water Conservation Board.

Perlmutter discusses health care in grocery store visit BRIGHTON

Another Colorado congressman is talking with voters about the proposed health care overhaul. Democratic Rep. Ed Perlmutter was at a grocery store in Brighton on Saturday for informal chats with constituents. Some people protested the proposed overhaul and likened it to socialism. Perlmutter is expected to address the health care overhaul proposals when Congress returns to work next month. Lawmakers from both parties are holding town-hall meetings and rallies to whip up support for or against the proposed overhaul. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited a Denver health clinic Thursday to talk up the proposal, while Colorado’s two Republicans are planning events of their own decrying the proposed changes.

Foreclosure hot line aids homeowners in trouble Routt County Public Trustee Jeanne Whiddon recommends the Colorado Foreclosure Hotline as a valuable resource for homeowners worried about making their mortgage payments. The Colorado Foreclosure Prevention Task Force, with the support of the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City maintains the hot line staffed by counselors approved by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The task force, mindful that there were 39,915 foreclosures in the state in 2008, created the service to help homeowners learn how to talk frankly with their lenders, among other skills. It boasts that four out of five homeowners who met with a hot line counselor avoided foreclosure. Contacts include 877-601HOPE and www.coloradoforeclosurehotline.org

Intrawest sells off 2 of its ski resorts in France The Canadian news agency Metronews reported Wednesday that Steamboat Ski & Resort Corp. parent Intrawest has agreed to sell two of its ski resorts in France for an undisclosed sum. The two ski areas are the Arc 1950 Resort in Savoie and the Flaine Montsoleil Resort in the Haute-Savoie region of the French Alps. Speculation that Fortress Investments might seek to sell off Intrawest assets has circulated since fall 2008 after Fortress was forced to renegotiate under duress the terms of a short-term loan of about $1.7 billion arranged to help Intrawest make improvements at its resorts, which range from ski to golf. The news of the difficult refinancing, which hung in the balance until the last minute, came nine months after outgoing Intrawest CEO Alex Wasilov came to Steamboat and told an audience of travel professionals that Fortress’ ownership of Intrawest would infuse the company with cash. “We’re just pleased that we have (Fortress) on board because they have a hell of a lot of capital and they’re putting it behind us, and it’s going to be our fuel to continue to grow and prosper,” Wasilov said here in mid-winter 2008. Wasilov was succeeded as CEO by former Vail COO Bill Jensen in June. Jensen was in Steamboat on July 31 to meet with Ski Corp. managers.

Sunray Meadows sees 6 condominiums offered as short sales

en Gold and Lisa Ruffino, of ReMax Steamboat, have seen the market come full circle at Sunray Meadows, where they have six condominiums available at short sale on behalf of distressed buyers. STORY BY Asking prices at the TOM ROSS Village Drive development include $269,000 for a two-bedroom condo up to $329,900 for a three-bedroom, two-bathroom condo with a two-car garage. Those asking prices are higher than the original sale prices recorded almost six years ago but well under the peak of 2007, when the modest condos at Sunray topped $400,000. Values now are closer to where they were in 2004 and 2005. It’s a problem for some and opportunity for others, Gold and Ruffino observed. Sunray Meadows is an attractive and well-cared-for project close to Steamboat Ski Area. Short sales are a strategy most commonly used by property owners who realize in advance that they can’t sustain their mortgage payments and turn to their lenders to reach an agreement to sell the property for less than the amount of the note on the property. The lending institution saves the cost and administrative hassles of going through a foreclosure, and the owners, though they lose their investment, have the potential to see their credit restored years sooner than it would be in a foreclosure.

SUNDAY FOCUS

A construction delay in 2005 had the unintended consequence of building equity for the earliest pre-construction buyers at Sunray Meadows.

Going up Ruffino and Gold agreed that the typical short sale owner in Sunray is someone who never meant to hold the condo for the long haul. “They never intended to move in or have a long-term lease,” she said. Ruffino said this week that

she and Gold accounted for about 80 percent of the original developer sales on behalf of Wintergreen Homes. The project, about threequarters of a mile from the ski area’s gondola, got its start in 2003. Wintergreen, which had successfully developed the Villas at Walton Creek and Quail Run projects just to the

west of Whistler Road, experimented with a modular project in the first building at Sunray. The first units that were delivered by truck were not as complete as the contracts and government approvals had called for. The result was a lengthy construction stoppage of more than a year. After the delay, the company switched

to stick-built construction for most of the 136 units in the 16building project. The developers also made certain that the original modular units were brought up to the same quality, she added. Significantly, the 18-month delay in construction allowed See Sunray, page 2B

Formerly deed-restricted condos hit open market First Tracks at Wildhorse Meadows creates a new species of real estate in Steamboat Tom Ross

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

The developers of First Tracks at Wildhorse Meadows set out last week to explore a new real estate product niche they never meant to occupy in the first place. The first of the formerly deed-restricted, affordable condominiums in First Tracks were placed on the Steamboat Springs Multiple Listing Service last week at market rates. The modest condos are in the midst of a planned luxury community, and Brent Pearson, principal and chief financial officer of Resort Ventures West, said

he’s not certain what to expect. At prices ranging from $179,000 for the least expensive studio unit to $470,000 for the two-bedroom units with the best views, Pearson thinks full-time residents of Steamboat drawn to living close to Steamboat Ski Area may seek them out. Or, Front Range buyers with a taste for luxury amenities such as the hot tub grotto at nearby Trailhead Lodge could perceive them as a one-time value that won’t be seen again. “We never would have built this product on this land, given what we paid for it,” Pearson said. “That’s what makes this such a great opportunity.

“All up and down the Front Range are people who have been trying” to acquire vacation homes in ski country, Pearson added. He’s hopeful the prices as low as $179,000 for a studio and $215,000 for a one-bedroom will bring contracts. First Tracks homes are in the midst of a development that has condos at nearby Trailhead Lodge under contract for more than $1 million, and in some cases more than $2 million, although only a few of those units have closed as anticipated this summer. The disparity makes First Tracks prices an anomaly, Pearson said. See First Tracks, page 2B

Although they were planned as deed-restricted affordable units, exterior materials at First Tracks were upgraded so that they would blend in to a high-end project at Wildhorse Meadows.

the project to incubate and values to increase as the Steamboat market heated up. “We started marketing in 2003, but the project wasn’t finished until 2008,” Ruffino said. “We closed the first and second buildings in February and March 2005, and closed the third and fourth buildings in May and June of 2006.” One buyer in the second phase ended up having two closings in a single day, the first to purchase, the second to sell a Sunray unit, and cleared $50,000. Ruffino, who had put down a $5,000 deposit in the fourth building, got caught up in the delay, profited handsomely from it and got married in the bargain.

Ski boom When Intrawest purchased Steamboat Ski Area in March 2006, prices really took off, Gold said. Buyers not just at Sunray, but across the board in the Steamboat market, saw appreciation of 35 to 40 percent in one year — giving a false sense of how investments here would perform. “The market had been fueled from 2000 on by ninja loans,” Gold said. “Super-low interest rates, no down payment and no-doc loans were so alluring people had the … sense of, ‘I can buy it and sell it at a profit after a few years.’” When the bubble burst and adjustable-rate mortgages reset from 4 or 5 percent to 8, 9 and 10 percent, Gold said, the change coincided with a softening of the rental market that some owners were depending on to help make their mortgage payments. The readjustment of prices at

Realtors in a short sale to justify a current market value for the property and typically are willing to accept slightly less, but not a lot less, than that amount. Ruffino cuts through a good deal of the red tape by engaging a short sale facilitator based in Denver, who receives a commission on top of the real estate commission. It’s well worth it, she said, to work with someone who deals with lending institutions daily, has closed hundreds of short sales and knows the right balance between staying on top of a purchase offer and pestering the bankers until they are irritated. Still, short sales can be consummated. Gold and Ruffino put two under contract Aug. 3 and have another pending. They’re also accepting backup offers. “A lot of buyers are (viewing) short sales as a windfall,” Gold said. “But there’s no guarantee a bank will accept a (low) offer.”

Sunray has been difficult for some owners to accept, Gold said. “That 30 percent is gone. Prices are down 20 to 30 percent and that’s a bitter pill to swallow” for owners, he added.

Short sales, long buys Gold said purchasing a condominium through a short sale is a long, sometimes difficult process. It can be rewarding for those with patience, but he urges prospective buyers to weigh the extra hassle against the asking price of market rate condos that also are for sale in Sunray. It takes a long time just to turn a bona fide offer into a contract, Gold said, and often, the waiting period ends with a rejection from the bank. “It’s at least 90 days before there’s a contract,” Gold said. A substantial part of the delay can be attributed to the nationwide backlog of pending short sales. Sellers “are just a number” to national banks, Ruffino confirmed. Ruffino said banks ask listing

Pearson: Obtaining financing for purchases will be hard Resort Ventures West originally built the 47 condos in the two buildings at First Tracks to satisfy the city’s affordable housing ordinance. However, an extensive marketing and education effort that spanned two years failed to generate substantial interest among Steamboat buyers who could qualify for the deed-restricted homes based on their household incomes.

In allowing developers to put 38 of the 47 units on the open market, Steamboat Springs City Council members acknowledged that the First Tracks condos did not reach their intended target and that in the midst of the lending crisis, financial institutions are leery about making loans on affordable units with capped appreciation. Earlier this summer, city officials approved a request from RVW to amend its community housing plan for Wildhorse

��

Meadows, replacing deedrestricted units with a payment in lieu for some units, combined with a voluntary 0.5 percent real estate transfer tax on initial sales. Nine prospective buyers under the affordable program remain interested, said RVW Director of Sales and Marketing Kerry Shea. The exterior finishes on the two First Tracks buildings exceed what one would expect on a project intended for affordable housing. “The product here had to work in a luxury community,” Pearson said. Development partner Wintergreen Homes incorporated stone wainscoting and timber trusses in the gables, for example. The interiors are plain but include some desirable details. The interior walls have a handtroweled finish, high quality windows are installed, and the two-bedroom units have a master bath. Many condos have covered decks. Shea points out that a buyer acquiring a vacation home could easily upgrade appliances, countertops, bathroom and door hardware, for example.

Prices and pluses All of the units are made more livable by the presence of locked storage units in the basement of the buildings. They are ample for storing bicycles and kayaks. The intent was to give the residents an alternative to stacking their outdoor toys on their decks, Pearson said. And part of that motivation was to keep up appearances for the high-end buyers next door. Although there is very little variance among the seven studios, seven one-bedroom and 24 two-bedroom units, there is a substantial range of prices within each category. The variety of prices can be attributed to the quality of the view, Pearson said. Some units look out on the white whale that is the public Tennis Center at Steamboat Springs, while others have views of Thunderhead or across the South Valley to Blacktail Mountain. The price range for studios from 545 to 565 square feet is $179,000 to $249,000; one-bedrooms from 785 to 805 square feet range from $215,000 to $315,000; and two-bedrooms from 1,145 to 1,172 square feet range from $295,000 to $470,000.

A relative handful of the condos were released to the MLS this week and the supply will be managed to match demand, Shea said. Pearson said that obtaining financing for First Tracks purchases will be difficult in the prevailing lending climate. “It’s still going to be a struggle from a financing standpoint,” Pearson said. “It’s the world we live in.” Mortgage backers Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are reluctant to underwrite resort condominiums until the Federal Housing Administration gives them its blessing, and they want to see 71 percent of a project sold before they take that step, Pearson said. An enticement to enter the process is the fact that access to the amenities already built in Wildhorse Meadows — a fitness center with exercise machines fitted with cable TV, a hot tub grotto, 25-meter lap pool, a game room and the gondola to the ski base — is included in the association fees of First Tracks buyers. Monthly HOA fees vary from about $320 for studios and $380 for one-bedroom condos to $477 for two-bedroom units. In all cases, $184 of the overall HOA fee is attributable to the amenities.

WASHINGTON

The Senate ethics panel cleared Sens. Chris Dodd and Kent Conrad on Friday of breaking rules by getting mortgages through a VIP program, but it scolded them for not being more careful to avoid the appearance of sweetheart deals. The Select Committee on Ethics told Dodd, of Connecticut, and Conrad, of North Dakota, in separate letters that it found “no substantial credible evidence” after a yearlong investigation that their mortgages from Countrywide Financial Corp. broke Senate gift rules. The two influential Democrats got their mortgages through a VIP program for those designated as “friends” of then-Countrywide CEO Angelo Mozilo. The committee said participants in the program “were often offered quicker, more efficient loan processing and some discounts.

SPORTS COMMENTARY

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

For the love of the game

’ve never met Chris Kuxhaus face to face, but after talking with him on the phone for a few minutes last week, I can sense that he’s one of those guys who truly loves the game. His passion for baseball isn’t fueled by the pursuit of competition or the thrill of victory. He understands that the game is about a lot more than just the final score. You can bet he’s one of those guys who loves the smell of a leather baseball glove, the way the dust kicks up as a base runner rounds second base and the sound of a ball hitting a bat. Kuxhaus grew up playing the game of baseball, and if not for a skull injury in high school, he might still be out on the field playing. He told me he started playing in kindergarten. He was part of a Little League team in grade school, and he caught for his high school baseball team before getting cracked in the head by a bat. The injury ended his baseball career long before Kuxhaus was ready to stop playing, but it hasn’t dampened his love of the game. These days, he works construction but is drawn back to the diamond each summer, where he uses all the skills he learned as a child to coach a softball team made up of players with special needs. That team — the Steamboat Pirates— recently traveled to Longmont to play in the Special Olympics Western Area tournament. The Pirates didn’t win— losing the first and second games by one run each — but that didn’t matter. Not to the tournament organizers, not to the fans who support the teams and not to the players who represented Steamboat Springs on the field. The players are living proof that the game reaches well past the scoreboard. The Steamboat team was rewarded with second-place medals for its showing at the tournament, and all the players and people who put the event on deserve special thanks. But the coach’s reward came as he watched his players step onto the field and step away from their own limitations for a few hours. These athletes played the game the way it was meant to be played — with love — and Kuxhaus can appreciate that. “I enjoy every minute of it,” Kuxhaus said about coaching the team. “I wish summer was longer and that we got to play more games. I can’t play the game anymore, but this is the next best thing.” The coach isn’t the only one wishing the summer was a little longer in the Yampa Valley. Apparently, Kuxhaus has passed his love of the game onto his players. Many of those players have been heartbroken since the season came to an end. Kuxhaus can relate to how his players are feeling these days. He’s one of those guys who truly loves the game.

Duo leading lacrosse Barrett, Lane bring East Coast skills to Bonesaws Luke Graham

PILOT & TODAY STAFF

STEAMBOAT SPRINGS

Conor Barrett and Sam Lane were almost always sure lacrosse would be part of their lives. But the graduates of Washington College in Maryland weren’t sure they’d ever find another team like the one they did during their collegiate days on the East Coast. “I didn’t even know that

lax was big out here,” said Barrett, who graduated from Washington College in 2006. “Coincidentally, we have a really good Steamboat men’s team here. I really wasn’t expecting there to be any play out here.” Two years ago, Barrett and Lane moved to Steamboat Springs. They moved separately after playing for three years together at Washington College, where the duo played attack for one of the top Division III

teams in the nation. The team won conference championships in 2002 and 2004, and in 2004 made it to the Final Four, where it lost, 13-11, to powerhouse Salisbury University. They each were recruited out of high school — Barrett from New Jersey and Lane from Connecticut. Each had MATT STENSLAND/STAFF Division I offers but decided on Conor Barrett, left, and Sam Lane played lacrosse together at Division III powerSee Lacrosse, page 3C

something no other person has. He ran 200 miles in the Wild West Relay, starting at 6 a.m. Thursday in Fort Collins and finishing a little after 5 p.m. Saturday at Strawberry Park Elementary School. All told, he covered the unforgiving terrain in 59 hours. “Part of ending any big race is going back and processing it because there is so much,” Laughlin said minutes after finishing. “Every race is a story. One of the things that happened in this race that’s never happened before was, I started hallucinating in the middle of it. “I woke up in the middle of the interstate somewhere between here and Fort Collins several times.”

Those were just parts of times Laughlin was on the brink of stopping. He hurt his foot at mile 60, right on the brink of going into his first night. Add in the feeling of being alone at night running, and Laughlin said there were points that first night he wanted to give in. “You could hear the doubting,” Laughlin’s wife and crew chief, Beth, said. “I spent two hours driving, thinking, ‘Is he

hurt or just hurting?’ At the next checkpoint, I thought, ‘Even though he’s hurt and if he can endure the pain and it’s not long term, I’m going to push him on.’” Laughlin pushed on, and when the morning hit, he was rejuvenated. As Friday night approached, his mind started to get the best of him again. Some of the adventure of the race had been taken out since Laughlin already had done it twice as part of a team. The lack of sleep started to put him in a foul mood, and Laughlin admitted he let his mind begin to look at the finish line. A call to his coach Ray Zahab in Canada reafSee Laughlin, page 3C

running with the first team at inside linebacker in the Broncos’ revamped 3-4 defense. “Still fast, too.” With Davis growing up in Live Oak, Fla., and Shelton nearly 400 miles south in Fort Lauderdale, the cousins saw each other only on special occasions. Mostly it was at family reunions, which always included a touch football game followed by a foot race.

Laughlin’s next adventure includes running across Kenya Laughlin continued from 1C firmed his commitment. “There wasn’t that adventure element to it,” Laughlin said. “I mean, there was adventure in hallucinating on the highway or getting run off the road into a ditch by a semi. But there is something about doing a race where you don’t know the course. You see something very new. Because that wasn’t there, it was taxing mentally. It was an incredibly long, hard distance. It was awful in a lot of ways.” But Laughlin did it for a cause he believes in. He did it to benefit the Daraja Academy of Kenya — a school that looks to educate youths about ways to sustain the economy. It also was in preparation for bigger events. As Laughlin said, he’s already done 200 miles in less than 60 hours on no sleep — when most people didn’t think he could. Now, he’s looking for the next adventure nobody thinks he can do. He plans to run across Kenya — from Mombasa to Eldoret where the school is located. He might even try to run from Panama to

“All these things start with a little ‘wouldn’t that be great if,’” Laughlin said, admitting he was on the brink of passing out. “This was the hardest race I’ve ever had mentally.

Barrett, Lane gearing up for Aug. 15 and 16 tourney Lacrosse continued from 1C Washington College, where the competition is almost as good as Division I. “The top two or three Division III teams would be top 10 in Division I,” said Lane, a 2007 graduate. As both play attack, they started to get to know each other pretty well. Barrett knew he wanted to move west and found himself in Steamboat. After Lane graduated, he called Barrett to get the phone number of a friend. “I called Conor looking for that phone number,” Lane said. “He was like, ‘I live in

Steamboat right now.’ I was like, ‘No (kidding). I’m moving out there next week.’” The two were looking for opportunities to play lacrosse. Lane initially looked into coaching before the duo met former Steamboat lacrosse captain Dave Shively, who encouraged the two to come out and play for the Bonesaws. After Shively left the team and Colorado before this season, there were some questions about whether the Bonesaws still would exist. That’s not a problem when players such as Barrett and Lane are around. “As long as I’m here, I’m

going to play,” Barrett said. “I want to play for as long as I can.” The two were integral parts in helping the Bonesaws win the consolation bracket at a tournament in Breckenridge last weekend. The tournament usually draws some of the top club teams from across the state. Multiple pros and former Division I stars dot the rosters. Barrett, who saw the Aspen team he played with go 1-4 at the same tournament last year, saw Steamboat go 4-1 this year. “I was really surprised we did so well,” Barrett said. “The competition level was really high.”

The two now are gearing up for an Aug. 15 and 16 tournament in Aspen. Although each has played a higher level of lacrosse, they said playing on the Steamboat team is something they’re glad to be doing. “In Breckenridge with the Bonesaws, it was an eclectic group of guys,” Lane said. “But we were able to bring some teams down. We’ve been practicing one day a week for the last two months and handled them really good. We have no hot shots or big egos. It makes it fun.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Montrose golfers probably enter season as favorites Golf continued from 1C nervous last year.” Despite a summer filled with baseball games and basketball camps, Capistron said he would get to play three or four times a week at Steamboat Golf Club. He said going into this season, an added comfort level has him looking for a big season individually and as a team. “I think I am better because I’m older,” Capistron said. “I should probably play better. Anything in the mid-70s or

high-70s, I’m happy with.” Ptach, who will miss the first few weeks of the season while he is at a ski camp in Switzerland, might have had the most impressive summer. Ptach played a lot of golf and improved immensely. At the Haywhacker tournament earlier this summer, Ptach showed the reason he’s one of Steamboat’s top golfers. He shot a 77 on the second day, including five birdies and a triple bogey on the usually easy No. 8. “I’m playing good,” Ptach

said after his June round. “I don’t think I’ve had that many birdies in a round. I’m giving myself good opportunities; I just need to work on my short putting.” With the regional tournament slated for Sept. 22 at Haymaker, Steamboat should have every opportunity to put a team through to the state tournament. Although Montrose probably enters the season as the favorites. Steamboat’s three returning varsity players said that with regionals being on their home course, the Sailors

should be the favorite. The key will be finding strong No. 4 and 5 golfers to round out the varsity squad. Still, with Gunderson, Ptach and Capistron all a year older, it’s hard not to like Steamboat’s chances. “I think we lost some good players last year from other teams,” Gunderson said. “I think there is definitely still some shooters this year we need to worry about. But I think we have a really solid team.” — To reach Luke Graham, call 871-4229 or e-mail lgraham@steamboatpilot.com

Michael Vick returned to the area that once celebrated his brilliant play on the football field, this time for the first of what he hopes will be dozens of appearances across the country to urge low-income youths to avoid the tragic trail left by dogfighting. Few got to hear Saturday’s message, however. Vick’s visit to a suburban Atlanta community center was largely off limits to the very neighborhood it was supposed to be helping. In an agreement between Vick’s handlers and the Humane Society of the United States, only 55 people and one media crew were allowed inside. An Associated Press reporter, videographer and photographer were among the media banished from the property by police. Most people who live in the largely black neighborhood southeast of Atlanta were unaware of Vick’s appearance. Several showed up after the former Falcons quarterback already had left in a black limousine. “Not too many people knew he was going to be here,” said Stan Sutton, who stopped by the New Life Community Center to pick up some clothes and wound up being one of the few invited inside to hear Vick speak. “There would have been

a lot more people here than there are now. The whole Eastside would have been here.” Wayne Pacelle, president Vick of the Humane Society, said the group wants to be open and reach as many people as possible with its anti-dogfighting message. But the tightly controlled appearance comes as Vick is trying to rehabilitate his image and ease his path back to the NFL. “We all realize that he’s in a special circumstance,” Pacelle said. “We don’t want this to be a flash in the pan. We are committed to transparency over the long run and having Michael involved in many communitybased events to speak about the issue. I don’t want to put words in his mouth, but he wants the opportunity in a controlled setting to make his first statement on the issue. But I’m sure he’s going to be speaking out more based on what he had to say today.” The quarterback apparently is planning to do his first major interview since completing a 23-month prison sentence with the CBS news magazine “60 Minutes,” which sent a threeperson crew to film the event. The AP was barred from entering, and the windows were covered to prevent anyone from looking inside.

Harrington leads Tiger by 3 at Firestone Doug Ferguson

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

AKRON, OHIO

Padraig Harrington kept pouring in birdies as he tried to separate himself from everyone else at the Bridgestone Invitational. He arrived at the 18th green with a threeshot lead, happy with his day’s work. Then he glanced at the leaderboard for the first time Saturday. Suddenly, that lead felt a little smaller. His closest challenger was Tiger Woods, the world’s No. 1 player and close to unbeatable at Firestone. “I was surprised, yeah. I didn’t know he was up there,” said Harrington, who made four birdies on the back nine for a 3-under 67. “OK, he’s in second place. There he is, 7-under par. There you go, three-shot lead. Is that enough? Probably not. I was trying to put as much room between me and the field. But at the end of the day, there’s probably never enough room between you and Tiger. “I know I have to play well tomorrow if I’m going to win.” Woods made a charge of his own about an hour earlier, running off four birdies during the last six holes, for a 65 that put some life into a dreary afternoon of light rain that slightly softened Firestone. He never has finished worse than fifth on this track, and Woods has won six times in 10 appearances — three times when trailing.

Yep. “I felt like I got cheap-shotted there,” said Busch, who banged fenders with Ambrose after the checkered flag to show his dismay. “I had no idea he was there. I had to do what I had to do.

But just as Ambrose began to pull away, Gordon and Logano tangled again. Gordon ran Logano off course into a tire barrier on lap 72, crumbling the hood on Logano’s No. 20 Toyota and causing a fire that brought out another caution. “Apparently, we got in a little grudge match after I cut down his tire,” Logano said after visiting the care center. “It’s a pretty raw deal. You can’t fix stupid — it’s forever. You put that in your memory bank.” Ambrose easily got clear of Busch on the final restart with six laps remaining and won by just more than a second.

Pars gave him the momentum to make birdies, and he knocked them in from 30 feet on the 12th, 20 feet on the 13th, and he hit the flag with his tee shot on the 15 for another birdie. Woods began his run with an approach that spun back to 6 feet on the 13th for birdie, then picked up another birdie from 15 feet on the fringe at the 15th. His experience at Firestone really showed on the par-5 16th, where he faced a tricky shot from 90 yards to a back pin. His lob wedge hit some 8 feet short of the hole, took a hard hop past the hole, then spun back to a foot. “Every putt I had for birdie, I made it,” said Woods, who had only 23 putts. “It was the complete opposite of yesterday.”

Hoping for better than the average

use this platform to flog my own athletic ability on a pretty regular basis. In case you’ve missed that, I don’t ski very well. I don’t do trees well, rarely finding the guts to turn much downhill unless it’s absolutely necessary, and I really don’t do moguls well, losing that desired “rhythm” after about the first 10 feet and flopping up and down over the center of the bumps. And really, I don’t water ski all that well, either, but it was while water skiing last weekend that I came to a new — to me — realization. I don’t really try all that hard. Maybe that’s not the best way to put it. Danny Tebbenkamp, the entrepreneur behind the kinda-extreme sports facilitating of Boardom Bound, put it a lot better while explaining how he ramped up his wakeboarding ability. “Eventually I realized I had to go for it, otherwise I’d just stay average,” he said. True words. I’m not bad at water skiing at all. I can get up on a slalom. I wiped my brow when I got up for the first time this season Sunday, because while there’s no shame in needing a second go, you just gotta get up on your first try of the season. I got up and I cut back and forth plenty, over the wake and wide to the side, spraying the almost-miserably cold water of Steamboat Lake in long plumes. I’m better than most people I know, but I’ve been able to slalom, cut and swing for most of 15 years. In that time, I haven’t added much at all. It’s not hard to figure out where the disconnect is. When you’re way wide on a slalom ski, leaning over right before you cut back toward the boat and leave a long trail of spray, there’s a second when you can scale it back. If that’s the route you choose, you cut the turn just a hair shorter, you balance on your ski and, in just a moment, can zoom back toward the other side of the boat quick and in control. If you don’t check yourself and cut back too severely, you can end up with so much slack in your rope that I’m always convinced the boat, still motoring at 25 or 30 miles per hour, will yank my arms clean off my body. If you lean too much, posing like a photo in a magazine, you can go just a little too far, lose it and skip across the water like a rock on a pond. I know how to improve my skiing, what risks I need to take. I just haven’t. Since I reached my current level of “decent” skiing, my goal has been simple: “Don’t fall.” And I rarely do. It’s a similar attitude that has kept me from really progressing at snow skiing, too. With a few days on the lake planned for late this summer and another big winter on the horizon, maybe, just maybe, I’ll convince myself that I’m tired of being average and I can actually make progress at two of my favorite sports.

A crop of wildflowers spring up in what until recently was a well-covered lodgepole pine forest. Although the mountain pine beetle epidemic has drastically changed the look of the landscape, Forest Service officials insist the forest isn’t dead. They say it’s just going through a transformation, and they’re working to ensure the new forest meets the needs of Colorado residents. Photo in story, below: Even as they died from an unprecedented beetle infestation, lodgepole pine trees shed the seeds of the future. Pine cones, sprinkled now in open grass where their towering ancestors rotted, will grow to become the new forest.

Budding in the battleground New forest spreading roots amid beetles’ devastation

t doesn’t look like much of anything right now, but Tuesday morning, Oscar Martinez grabbed it by the tip and pulled it to its full height: a less-thantowering 24 inches. For now, it’s a tiny pine tree, STORY BY a sapling so pathetic that JOEL Charlie Brown REICHENBERGER wouldn’t give it a second look. But, Martinez explained, it’s the future — and a sign that even in a forest’s darkest hours, hope always grows. “We understand it can be kind of depressing,” said Martinez, a U.S. Forest Service district ranger based in Yampa. “But we want people to know that we still have a forest.”

SUNDAY FOCUS

Unforeseen destruction To outdoor recreationists and to passersby who barely crack open a window, the demise of Colorado’s lodgepole pine forests has not been subtle. What a few years ago amounted to ugly blotches of red scattered among the deep green of the forest has now become a few stands of green against the rust of a dead generation. Martinez said many saw the mountain pine beetle epidemic on the horizon — its devastation partly written into droughts early in the past decade and into slightly longer, drier summers. But he didn’t expect this. “I was one of the optimistic ones,” he said. “I thought we might lose 50 percent of our mature trees. I didn’t think we’d lose 90 percent like we have.” A healthy pine tree can fight off beetles, flushing the bandits right out of the holes they bored in on with a tidal wave of sap. No trees could resist the onslaught that was the height of the epidemic, though. Instead of having to fight off a dozen beetles, a tree had to fight off hundreds. “There were piles of beetles at the bottoms of the trees,” Martinez said. “It was death by

a thousand cuts.” The destruction has slowed. “We’ll continue to see mortalities, but it’s tapering off, in large part because there isn’t anywhere else for the beetles to go,” Martinez said.

A new beginning The time to lament has passed, and now Martinez and Forest Service crews across the state are aggressively trying to reinvent Colorado’s woodlands. They strive to maintain what the public expects of its forests, establishing habitat for treasured native species while encouraging the regeneration as fast and as stable as possible. The forest of the next 50 years will take on many incarnations. Some are obvious already across Routt County and Northwest Colorado. Before the beetle epidemic, the Forest Service contracted with logging companies to thin out areas of the forest. Many of those deals, agreed to before the mountain pine beetle changed everything, now are in their final stages. But much has changed. Instead of thinning the onceplentiful green trees, the Forest Service now strives for success on a number of fronts. First and foremost, it tries to keep every living tree it can. It tries to get rid of beetle kill and foster new growth, planning its cutting areas to potentially act as redoubts in the case of an outof-control forest fire. “The first timber sales we did were under the assumption we’d have a mature overstory to work with,” Martinez said. “That assumption is gone, and now what we’re focused on is protecting anything that’s green and still growing so we can have that age class to work with, then at the same time doing whatever level of disturbance we need to get that new level of trees to try to grow a multi-layered forest.”

No man’s land Often, those techniques still don’t leave much. Wide tracks of recently cleared forest south of Yampa say as much. Logs are stacked at one end of a clearing, and brush and vegetation is torn up where heavy equipment and laborers have toiled. It may look like no man’s land, but it’s the perfect breeding ground for a new forest. Aspens already had started to take advantage of the sudden and complete lack of competition, their growth spurts unnaturally large each season under the full sun. “If someone were to ride their mountain bike through here now, it might look kind of scraggly,” said Diann Ritschard, the acting public affairs officer for the Medicine Bow and Routt National Forests. “But the things we’re doing to make those trees grow quicker — logging and leaving the seed cones — as soon as a decade will make it look really cool.” A few miles down the road, another swath was slightly further along in the process, the aspens a little taller and the tornup ground grown over with fresh vegetation and wildflowers. Another spot, where work wrapped up five years ago, resembled a natural but closing mountain meadow. Flowers still sprung up with ease, but aspens raced to fill in the vacant skyline, and spruce and firs spread wide to soak up the sun. And, easy to miss as it was, buried in the weeds, a young lodgepole pine tree, less than 3 feet tall, strove to catch up. “So many people tend to look at the forest only as it is now, only the way we inherited it,” Martinez said. “But change is happening. It’s happening all the time. The forest will look and feel like something different because now the changes are fairly large scale. But the forest is still there.”

A unique path led Dave Entwistle to Steamboat Springs. Entwistle, 52, is the new administrator of Christian Heritage School, overseeing kindergarten through 12th grade. The Seattle native moved to Kenya, West Africa, with his parents in 1962 at age 5 and lived there until he was 18. After living in New Mexico, Kentucky and Morocco, he arrived in Steamboat less than a month ago.

“It’s an amazing turn of events that led us here,” he said. After spending 18 years teaching with his wife, Mona, at a school for children of missionaries in Kenya, they decided to return to the U.S. Entwistle spent four years as the secondary principal at a Christian school in Las Cruces, N.M., before a two-year stint as the principal of a Christian high school in Lexington, Ky. Last year, Entwistle and his wife taught at an American school in Casablanca, Morocco. They committed to only a year at the school, wanting to get

back into Christian education in the U.S., he said. So the Entwistles began praying for something to open up in Christian education, preferably in Colorado, because his wife had always wanted to live in the mountains, he said. For a while, Entwistle said, things didn’t look great. He sent résumés to Christian schools across the U.S., including Christian Heritage School. He had some interest from a couple of schools, but things didn’t work out. Until one phone call. The Entwistles received a

last-minute call in May from Shawn Zwak, president of Christian Heritage School’s board. They were about to leave for a flight to Lubbock, Texas, to attend their daughter’s nursing school graduation at Texas Tech. The call forced them to change their return trip to Morocco. Before heading home, they would stop in Steamboat to allow Entwistle to interview at Christian Heritage. The school previously had JOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF operated with two administra- Dave Entwistle is the administrators. For the past six years, Tim tor for the Christian Heritage School See CHS, page 2D

this year. Entwistle moved to Steamboat Springs from Casablanca, Morocco.

Tending the flock Routt County resident Reva Frink raises award-winning poultry

eva Frink refereed a turkey fight recently. “One had a hold of another one’s head, and he wasn’t wantin’ to turn loose,” she said, standing outside the pen that held 13 turkeys. One tom, or STORY BY puffed BLYTHE TERRELL male, his feathers up for a pair of visitors Thursday. “Stop struttin,’” Frink told him good-naturedly. She grabbed the turkey, who let out a few chirps of protest. The toms can get ornery, said Frink, who raises and sells turkeys and other birds from her home on Twentymile Road south of Steamboat Springs. Frink provides birds for 4-H members, sells them for meat, and shows them at fairs and other events. She grew up farming and ranching in Nebraska and has been in Steamboat since 1981. Frink started raising birds here about eight years ago. She has turkeys, chickens and geese, but she focuses on ducks. Her ducks have had 79 babies this year. “It’s constant work around here,” she said. Frink raises them — the ones that aren’t eaten by foxes, red-tailed hawks and magpies or shredded by raccoons — in a line of pens and a coop near the house. She also has pigs, two dogs, two horses and two cats. The ducks are the easiest to care for, she said. “I basically stick them in the bathtub in the house, pull the shower curtain shut, and they bathe themselves,” Frink said. “It’s like a full-on party in there.” Steamboat Springs High

Reva Frink takes a few minutes to check out a turkey after feeding on her property near Steamboat Springs. She raises poultry including chickens, ducks and turkeys.

School graduate Jasper Gantick said Frink provided his 4-H ducks when he was younger. “She’s really knowledgeable, and not just about birds, but lots of other things,” Gantick said. “When I first went to her, I was a really young member in 4-H, and she kind of really was my mentor for the project.” Ashleigh Muhme, who will be a senior at Hayden High School, said she’d gotten chickens and turkeys from Frink. Muhme described Frink as a “really great person

who’s really passionate about what she does.” Frink always is willing to lend a hand to 4-H members, Muhme said. “I had a rooster at my house, and I couldn’t keep him at my house for the winter because the neighbors were kind of getting annoyed at the crowing, and I needed a place for him to stay at for the winter,” Muhme said. “And she said, ‘Just bring him out to my house, and you can do a little bit of work for me to make up for the rent cost, and we’ll call it even.’” Frink judges bird shows

at fairs; she went to Eagle County’s this year and was headed to Kremmling on Friday for the Grand County Fair. She’s a big help at the Routt County Fair, which started Friday, Routt County 4-H Agent Jay Whaley said. “She’s very knowledgeable about poultry,” Whaley said. “She’s brought exhibits to the Routt County Fair for years, and she has a lot of knowledge with it, and she’s willing to share it with the kids.” Frink is willing to talk, too.

Some excited electrons have taken up residency on the roof of the Bud Werner Memorial Library. As part of a bid to earn a silver rating from the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, or LEED, program, MATT STENSLAND/STAFF Emerald Mountain Energy co-owner Tim McCarthy talks Wednesday about the new library officials had an 11-kilosolar panels installed earlier this month on the roof of Bud Werner Memorial Library. watt solar-electric system instal-

led June 30. The system, which includes 48 panels in two rows on the library’s roof, is offsetting about 4 percent of the electricity used in the 36,000-square-foot, air-conditioned facility. “It’s working a little bit better than we expected it would,” said Tim McCarthy, of Emerald Mountain Energy, which installed the system. McCarthy explained that electrons in the panels are excited by the sun’s energy, and they create a current by moving from one side of the

panel to the other. To meet its LEED standard, the system needs to supply 2.5 percent of the library’s electricity needs. “We are very exited to be able to be a green leader in our community,” library Director Chris Painter said. Officials with the city of Steamboat Springs participated in a tour of the solar panel system last week. See Solar panels, page 2D

Frink tries to breed her birds to be show champions

��

ages Thursday morning, walking through pens and speaking over a plug of Copenhagen Long Cut. She explained the differences between the breeds; Frink raises mostly Muscovy ducks because she likes the way they mother their ducklings. She also has mini appleyard ducks, white Embden geese, Cayuga ducks and Pekin ducks. One of her Cayugas won a particularly high honor in 2006: Champion Waterfowl at the American Poultry Association’s Semi-Annual Meet in Pueblo. Frink also competes at the National Western Stock Show in Denver. Last year, she took 10 birds and brought back nine first-place awards and one second-place award. Frink said she was particularly pleased to win top honors at large shows. “A lot of the bigger shows, like the stock show and stuff, you get people who just go to big shows,” she said. They’ll buy high-end, expensive birds just to win, Frink said. Frink tries to breed her birds to be champions, looking closely at their color and characteristics to pick the best. The Muscovies aren’t as good-looking as other breeds, but they do well with the tough Routt County winters, Frink said. Some of the other birds have to winter inside. “I’ve only froze up one duck

the whole time I’ve been out here,” she said. She said she’s lost about four ducklings this year. The mothers are protective, guarding their young and hissing when they feel threatened. Even though it’s one of Frink’s favorite characteristics of the ducks, she’s felt the wrath of that mothering.

The Muscovies don’t have the best personalities of the bunch. “I’ve had mama hens, when I was gathering up mamas and babies to put ’em inside, one of ’em hooked her claw into my little finger,” Frink said. “They are not nice at all.” JOHN F. RUSSELL/STAFF

Solar panels continued from 1D “We’re doing a multi-jurisdictional grant for some federal and state funding to do something like this on the (Steamboat Springs) Community Center,” Deputy City Manager Wendy DuBord said. Painter said the city and Routt County were integral in securing funding for the library’s solar system by helping it with a grant application. The system

cost $82,000, and state grants covered $78,000 of that. There also is a solar system on the roof of the Routt County Justice Center, built in 2007. Since it was installed Jan. 13, 2008, the 26.4-kilowatt solar system on the Justice Center roof has generated about 58,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity and offset about 72,000 pounds of carbon dioxide. That’s equivalent to the amount of energy needed to power 933 homes for

one year and the amount of pollution the average passenger car emits during more than seven years. The library roof includes racks and the accompanying infrastructure to accommodate two more rows of solar panels if it is decided to install them in the future. McCarthy said he always recommends that customers install the infrastructure upfront, even if they don’t intend to install solar, in case prices come down

in the future and they become interested. Retrofitting a building for solar power is far more expensive, he said. “We obviously have made accommodations for the future,” said Project Manager Paul Barry, of Barry Construction Management. “If another round of grant funding came around, we would be very interested.” — To reach Brandon Gee, call 871-4210 or e-mail bgee@steamboatpilot.com

Board president: Entwistle can take CHS to the next level CHS continued from 1D Calkins was the grade school principal. Al Weisberg served as middle and high school principal for the past four. Zwak said that because of the economic times, the school’s board decided to have only a single administrator, who wouldn’t teach as Calkins and Weisberg had, and who only focused on the day-to-day operations of the school. Assisting the teachers was the top priority, Zwak said. Calkins and Weisberg were finalists for the position, in addi-

tion to Entwistle, Zwak said. He said another out-of-state candidate also was brought to Christian Heritage to interview. After his interview May 18, Entwistle said he felt confident. He and Mona flew from Denver to Frankfurt, Germany, on their way back to Casablanca. At the Frankfurt airport, Entwistle received an e-mail from Zwak that said the board had one more question for him. They were unable to get in touch until after the Entwistles returned to Casablanca, nearly three days after the interview. Entwistle received a phone call at 3 a.m. that morning. It was Zwak. On behalf of the board, he asked Entwistle whether he would become the administrator of Christian Heritage.

“It was definitely a big sigh of relief,” Entwistle said last week. “We sensed it was confirmation God wanted us here.” Zwak said Entwistle’s selection with the board was unanimous. Entwistle’s world perspective was a factor in their decision, Zwak said. He said the experience could help give students an idea of what lies beyond Steamboat and Colorado. But more than that, Zwak said, Christian Heritage wasn’t just looking for a person to run the school, but someone who could be personable with staff and engage the community. They were looking for a leader, he said. “This is someone who can take a school to the next level,” Zwak said about Entwistle. Entwistle said his new job

entails some challenges, such as dealing with tight budgets in a down economy. He said it’s important for Christian Heritage to retain families, some of which they’ve been losing in recent years, especially at the high school level. But the first task in his new role, before the school year begins Aug. 26, is developing a good rapport with the faculty and forming good working relationships, Entwistle said. Entwistle has called many places home throughout the years. Now, home is Steamboat Springs. “We’re thrilled to be here and excited for the next chapter in our lives,” he said. — To reach Jack Weinstein, call 871-4203 or e-mail jweinstein@steamboatpilot.com

Happy birthday

Greta Rainbow Martin Age: 2 August 25

Report fires to service at once 75 YEARS AGO From the Friday, Aug. 10, 1934, edition of The Steamboat Pilot: During the past two weeks there have been five forest fires in the vicinity of Routt National Forest. Three of these fires were caused by lightning — the Gore, Storm Mountain and Green Creek fires — and two of them were man-caused: Fish Creek and Service Creek. The forest service urges every person who sees a fire starting, no matter how insignificant it may seem, report it at once to the forest service. There always will be someone at the office ready to respond to the call. Considerable damage could have been avoided in the Service Creek fire had it been reported by the first person who saw the flames. Whenever a blaze or a smoke is noticed anywhere in the forest, the first thing to do is call the office. The rangers would rather have a dozen calls on one fire than to wait only a few minutes after the fire has been sighted.

Gravel roads to be oiled by highway department A machine for oiling roads has been purchased for each highway division of the state highway department. F.M.

Grilling chicken on the bone ensures juicy meat

owadays, someone who’s never been to a farm might be forgiven for thinking that chickens are miraculous creatures without any bones or skin. Walk past the meat cases in supermarkets and most of what you see in the poultry section seems to be packages of boneless, skinless chicken breasts and thighs. I can understand why many home cooks want the quickness, convenience and healthfulness of starting with chicken pieces that have no bones to slow cooking or clutter up the plate and no fatty skin. And when it comes to cooking rapid sautes or stirfries on your stovetop, boneless, skinless chicken can definitely work to your advantage. Especially when I grill, however, I always prefer to start

with a whole chicken. Cooking chicken on the bone and covered with skin helps keep the meat more juicy and flavorful, particularly over the intense dry heat of a backyard barbecue fire. Starting with a whole chicken has the added advantage that you don’t pay a premium for the time the butcher spends cutting up the bird. And if you prefer the chicken free of skin or bones, you or your guests always can remove them easily just before eating. See Puck, page 4D

ally, all the gravel roads will be oiled. It is thought that the first project in this district will be the oiling of the highway from the base of Rabbit Ears Pass through Steamboat Springs to Hayden and perhaps Craig. These are wonderful new machines and will be kept in operation. Because this section can be oiled only in the summer or fall, it is thought that it will receive first attention. Many other sections can be oiled during the winter months. Each of the machines costs $45,000 and capable of oiling a mile of road per day.

Around the county News from South Routt’s Lila Rider and Hayden’s Laurie Hallenbeck Oak Creek/Phippsburg Compiled by Lila Rider

Thanks for the BBQ

A big thank you to everyone who helped with the barbecue buffet, and thanks to the Yampa Valley Boys for their music. We had a great day here at Doak Walker Care Center, and we got nothing but good reports.

Welcome home

The Lombardi family, from Oak Creek, Yampa, Denver and points beyond, got back from Lake Powell and said rain fell and the wind blew nearly the whole time they were down there. Kate and Don Shively also were at Lake Powell last week and were scheduled to return Friday. I hope they had better weather. We’re very happy to have Nurse Fran back from vacation in Kansas. We missed you, Fran, and it’s good to see you again. Speaking of sweet returns, it’s also nice to see Kim Crawford back from surgery.

Out and about

Thanks for the gifts As always, thanks for the jewelry. We can always use more, and the ladies running bingo also can use some additional help conducting the games if anyone is interested.

Joke of the week Three sisters lived together in a house. One was 80 years old, one 90 years old and the oldest was 101 years old. Well, the oldest one put some water in the bath and she stepped in but suddenly was confused. She called downstairs to her 90-year-old sister, “What am I doing here? Am I getting into the bath or getting out of the bath?” Well the 90-year-old said she’d come check it out, but as she took her first step up the stairs, she too was confused. She called out to her younger sister, “What am I doing here?

Am I going up the stairs or coming down the stairs?” Well the youngest one laughed at her two older sisters, and she said, “I know I’m old, my goodness, but knock on wood,” she said as she knocked on the cabinet, “at least I’m not as bad as you two.” The middle sister said, “Will you please be quiet and come help me figure out what I’m doing?” The youngest sister said, “Well sure I will, just as soon as I figure out who’s knocking at the door.”

Prepare in an outdoor grill Puck continued from 3D

Sweet orange barbecue butterflied chicken Serves 6 2 large shallots, minced 2 large garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons minced rosemary leaves 1 whole organic free-range chicken, butterflied, 3-1/2 to 4 pounds 1/2 cup freshly squeezed orange juice 1/4 cup orange marmalade 3 tablespoons Sherry vinegar 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Salt Freshly ground black pepper In a small bowl, stir together the shallots, garlic and rosemary. Starting at the neck side of the butterflied chicken, carefully and gently insert your fingers between the skin and meat to loosen the skin over the breast and thighs. Evenly distribute about 2 tablespoons of the shallot mixture underneath the skin. In a large sealable food storage bag or in a glass baking dish large enough to hold the flattened chicken, combine the remaining shallot mixture with the orange juice, marmalade, vinegar and oil to make a marinade. Add the chicken to the bag or dish, turning to coat it evenly. Securely seal the bag or cover the dish with plastic wrap. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours,

turning the chicken occasionally. Prepare a fire in an outdoor grill for indirect-heat cooking, with the heat source either underneath just one side of the cooking grid or forming a circle around an area large enough to hold the flattened chicken. When the fire has reached moderate heat, hot enough for you to be able to safely hold your hand above the coals for just 3 seconds, carefully place a pan under the area where the chicken will rest on the cooking grid. Remove the chicken from the marinade, reserving the marinade. Place the chicken skin-up on the cooking grid directly over the drip pan. Brush the skin with some of the reserved marinade. Cover the grill and cook for 40 minutes, checking every 10 minutes or so to make sure that the chicken isn’t burning. Then, using long-handled tongs, turn the chicken over, skin down, over the drip pan. Brush with more marinade and discard the remainder. Cover again and grill until the chicken is done, 20 to 30 minutes longer; its juices should run clear when the thickest part of the thigh is pierced with a metal skewer, or an instant-read thermometer should register 170 degrees F when inserted into the thickest part of the thigh not touching bone. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board. With a large, sharp knife, cut it into 6 pieces.
